Yesterday was Cassandras Birthday......

Only she isn't here....she is still away on camp and I have

to tell you things are certainly quiet here without her....

You are now 13. Wow 13 You are a young lady now

with so much ahead of you....Having 3 older sisters Cassie

has never lacked for girlie things that's for sure....

I wonder what you where doing on your B/day? hiking? camping? swimming

maybe?

I have never had one of the children away on camp before on there b/day........

I'm sure she is having fun anyhow...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

CASSANDRA....

The boys pajama pants are all made, they loved the pirate

material, now I have the girls to make. Hopefully I'll get another

3 pairs made today, before I have to take the boys to soccer training.

Tomatoes must be in abundance around our area at the moment

as people have been dropping some off nearly every day.

Yesterday I thought that I had better use some of them to make

Pasta Sauce...I use alot of pasta sauce around here. I don't make much

relish or chutney as we don't eat alot of that, so I

tend to use the toms more in making tomato sauce and pasta sauce.

The only thing I had to buy was the onions and vinegar as

the chili, capsicum and herbs came from the garden.

I'm not one for recipes as I tend

to make it up as I go along, but I will give you a general idea..

Pasta Sauce

4-5 k.g tomatoes

4 onions

2 chillies

6 sm capsicums

1 large bunch basil

same for parsley

1 cup cider vinegar

salt and pepper.

Cook until well boiled down.

I then blend about 3/4 of the sauce as

I like a pasta sauce to not be to chunky.

Then bottle...

Easy...........

The weather has really cooled down around

here today, so I will enjoy being in my snug sewing room....

Blessings to all

Mandy
